MACHINE STABILITY
Your LULL ® rough terrain forklift is proven to be stable
when properly operated. However, improper operation,
faulty maintenance, unauthorized modifications, or poor
housekeeping may cause instability.
Some Conditions that Affect Stability:
•
Ground and surface conditions.
•
Surface grade.
•
Weight and configuration of the attachment.
•
Improper tire inflation and ballast content.
•
Operator judgement.
•
Excessive tilting of the fork carriage or other
attachments with an elevated load can cause
machine instability. The amount of allowable tilt is
governed by conditions such as boom elevation,
weight of load, and terrain.
